I am submitting a 'Voynich Manuscript'-esc graphic and have treated the pages to look old, as if taken from an apothecaries diary.

The file submitted contains several images in different light and angles (didn't have time to find a scanner) and due to the fact that I can only submit one file at a time will copy and paste a copy of the text shown in the images below. If necessary I can find a scanner later on in the week if it is required.

Cnila Tablo - Blood Cups

A Blood Cup is formed by a symbiotic relationship by a common weed (cup flowers aka Tablo Lorslq) and a parasitic plant known as Prge Ta'din or Fire Lady.
This is a rare union only possible in the most perfect of conditions. Fire Lady exists as microscopic seeds that lay dormant under the surface of the soil until a larger seed picks them up as it begins to germinate. Usually, the parasitic plant will absorb any other plant and take over to ultimately spread seeds. However, when it infiltrates a cup flower it bonds and creates a relationship with it This lengthens the lifetime of both plants and also attracts insects that spread seeds.
Although the Fire Lady is usually highly toxic in its other forms when bonded with other plants, it becomes harmless when within a cup flower. Its uses within medicine can strengthen blood cells and increase T cell count for large mammals and some humanoid species.
It is found in the Jovaria system in the few cooler climates of the Planet Jovaria.

My submission..."short" (it's really only a paragraph in length by word count, so boo). :P Enjoy

Plain text in case reading is hard:
Deimos and I put our heads together before we deployed and started combing through Hapes cluster's herbology.
We narrowed our search to a particular flower, Moon's Breath. Pretty, but not what we actually want. Its usefulness lies below.
What we're after are the roots. More specifically, the sap-like substance the roots contain.
Its chemical ID is Lc27563481-Megos, named for where its found, on Hapes' third moon.
Colloquially, the Hapans call the sap "Ill-well" for its potent healing properties. A bit redundant, but these people were bred for beauty, not brains...not that I'll say that around Marick.
It's only an ingredient in their medicine, so it may not do much on its own; but right now, it's the Cythrauls' only hope.

Captions:
The Moon's Breath flower.
It has very distinct roots and leaves.
Only a drop of sap is produced from each flower's roots.
A drop of life each...

Sidenotes:
Note: the illustrations accompanying this pamphlet were done by our friendly medical droid. His name is Droidy. He's quite skilled.

Ereneda_Bloom.png
Textual submission

An artistic study of the Ereneda bloom.

A sympodial herb found in the warmer climes of Millinar. These blooming herbs are named after the Queen Mother, leader of the Hapes Consortium.

They are highly sought after for their healing abilities, and favor restrictive, warm environments. However, only one in ten of these herbs are able to reach their full growing potential. If they are not in the correct environment they are nothing more than a pretty flower.

Gallinorese_Bamboo.png
Textual submission

Name: Gallionrese Bamboo
Planet of origin: Galinor, though now found on other Hapes cluster worlds
Description: This fast growing grass-like plant quickly takes over any region it is found in, kept back only by fire or other established vegetation. It is well known among children as being the only food eaten by the mythical Ha-panda.
Medicinal qualities appear limited, although its oil is used to treat even fairly serious burns. Recommend further study for possible inclusion in field medpacs, due to ease of reproductivity and availability.
